This is part one of enshittification: You give your service away to get users, and cater to their wishes. Then once they're hooked you can do whatever you want because they can't leave.
it’s more insidious: it’s not giving it away. it’s subverting the “hmm UBI is good actually” argument and saying that people should receive compute instead of money, with a quiet “oh and naturally someone will have to pay us for providing them that compute”
“ChatGPT 7, please make me a sandwich, I’m hungry.”
As an AI language model, I cannot make a sandwich or any food for you.
However, because you have indicated that you are broke af, which is illegal in the State of Missouri, this conversation and your IP address has been reported to the state police.
Is this the guy that kindly asked for 7 trillion? Of course he doesn’t want UBI, because he wants to vacuum up all the money to dump it in his robot girlfriend.
I love the way these idiots keep incrementing the number on their ChatGPT fantasy as if it’s a sufficient image of the future and it’s going to get everyone on board. Complete failure of imagination, don’t try to picture any actual use for it or anything, just make it… more.
Just wait til they figure out what number comes after 7. IOS is up to like what, 20? There’s a lot of numbers they have to learn before they can compete with the big boys.
The greatest version number war of our age is between Chrome and Firefox, nowadays both of which get a major version bump around once a month. Firefox is on 125 and Chrome is on 124.
access to internet, and functioning computing is increasingly important for everyone. It obviously doesn’t rank about healthcare, safe housing, and foundational income.
Yeah but has ‘lack of compute’ ever been an issue for people online? Really weird to do a 80/90’s university style supercomputer computing time per department distribution style system in 2030.
I’m gonna use my compute to break the encrypting that guarantees that everybody gets an equal slice an then the compute is all mine! MINE!!! My next step is going to be autotuning a proper evil villain laugh.
Instead of Universal Basic Compute, where everyone gets a slice of GPT7’s compute and is about as useful to the average person as a waterproof mop, there should be Universal Basic Income, where everyone gets a guaranteed stipend so they aren’t required to work in order to have a quality existence, and would, to the average person, be about as useful as clean air.
I will be so happy when we stop hearing about this “AI” nonsense for literally everything. The only good thing is that at least there are less wankers trying to throw “block chain” into everything
